| Summary | Knee replacement surgeries are one of the most frequently performed elective surgeries, with approximately 29,000 such procedures carried out annually in Belgium. Although these surgeries have been increasingly refined over the years, leading to better surgical outcomes, there is still room for improvement in terms of pre-surgical biopsychosocial patient preparation. Such preparation aims to optimally inform patients before their surgery and to start preparing them for rehabilitation and resumption of activities after surgery. Therefore, we aim to assess the added value and feasibility of prehabilitation within the knee replacement care pathway. The primary objective is to investigate the feasibility, acceptability and safety of multimodal biopsychosocial teleprehabilitation (BPS-telepreha |
